PROS Great value for money, attractive styling, good fun to drive, affordable running costs The Suzuki Swift has slowly and steadily earned itself a reputation as a value-for-money low-cost car that's good fun to drive. Fortunately for Suzuki, this version introduced in 2010 continuesd with those traits while adding a little bit of extra quality, making it one of the best used cars for less than £5,000. It may not look much different on the outside – it's a little bigger than the previous model and has different front and rear lights – but then why would you bother messing with a winning formula? A new petrol engine with lower emissions and improved fuel economy means running costs have dropped even further. Even better are the changes made to the body and steering. The body is stiffer giving it better agility on the road – as well as making it safer – and the sharp steering has been tweaked to make it even better. These improvements along with some upgraded materials inside make the Swift one of the best small hatchbacks around. 16" alloy wheels, 2 speed wipers+intermittent wipe, 3 cupholders, 3 spoke leather covered steering wheel, 5 x 3 point seatbelts, 6 speakers, 60/40 split rear seats, ABS+EBD+Brake assist, Accessory socket, Air conditioning, Body coloured bumpers, Body coloured door mirrors and handles, Centre console storage, Cloth seat trim, Curtain airbags, Deadlocks, Door ajar warning lamp, Driver airbag, Driver seatbelt warning indicator, Driver/passenger sunvisors with ticket h, Drivers knee airbag, Electric door mirrors, Electric front windows, Electric windows with drivers side auto-, ESP + traction control, Front door pockets, Front head restraints, Front/rear assist grips, Fuel consumption scree
